Hammour grouper (Epinephelus coioides) produced by the Aquaculture and Marine Studies Center at Abu Al Abyad island, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
The United Arab Emirates consumes an average of 25.3 kg of seafood per person, higher than the global average, and a high proportion of that demand is supplied by importation. Recognizing the potential of aquaculture to meet that supply-demand gap, the Government of the United Arab Emirates, supported by FAO, is working to support the sustainable development of aquaculture through capacity development at individual, institutional and enabling environment levels through technology transfer and policy development.
